This doesn’t work because the X-Resource is wrong! Instead of “XEmacs.default.italic.attributeFont” you have to use “XEmacs.italic.attributeFont”. This is explained at the top of /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XEmacs (This did not change from openSUSE 10.2 to openSUSE 10.3): ! The default font for the text area of XEmacs is chosen at run-time ! by lisp code which tries a number of different possibilities in order ! of preference. If you wish to override it, use this: ! ! Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! If you choose a font which does not have an italic version, you can specify ! some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! If you choose a font which does not have a bold-italic version, ! you can specify some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! And here is how you would set the background color of the `highlight' face, ! but only on the screen named `debugger': ! ! Emacs*debugger.highlight.attributeBackground: PaleTurquoise ! ! See the NEWS file (C-h n) for a more complete description of the resource ! syntax of faces. Well, the last line is not true, the NEWS file doesn’t explain that in more detail. Make sure you specify a XLFD which really exists, otherwise it won’t work either.
